The EU has taken an important first step in ensuring disability rights by adopting the Web
Accessibility Directive & the Accessibility Act, harmonising the rules on accessibility of public
websites, ICT, and mobile technology. The purpose of this study is to create guidelines highlighting the role of each relevant
stakeholder and describing the needed steps to ensure the standards are in place. To achieve
this, we have analysed the legal texts and interviewed support services for people with
disabilities, as they are historically experienced in the provision of accessible tools and
instruments.
